Aloiai look better on a salad than a football field. Another love child of the scarecrow, but you know he's a really good trainer and everybody is competing for spots!!!
Horrible stats 28 meters, 5 missed tackle out of 14. But he will be there next week. Felise is a much better option, move Taylor to second row in defence, sue to lock, Felise on the bench!

Yeah that's an awesome idea, move our best defender with the highest workrate out onto an edge.

It has been hard to agree with much you have written of late, but I am with you on this one. If Sirro had dished up these sorts of efforts as part of his eighty minutes, let alone if he only had to put in for only thirty to forty minutes, the guy would have been castigated on here.

I don't mind Josh, but see much more value in Sirro if used in the cameo like role that our starting backrower is playing.

I hear you but have him defending with Moses he/we need the help, that our weakness!
Taylor ball playing in the middle in attack but defending with Moses...

Except that Sirro has been in the team for 4-5 seasons now and continued to produce efforts that aren't that much better. Josh was better earlier in the year and a bit like Lovett did, has seemingly hit the rookie wall. Still, wouldn't be surprised if Sirro returns and takes Aloai's spot

There are some interesting stats there. Nofo and Ava topped the metres in the backs and forwards and they both had excellent games. However, the impact of a forward cannot be judged merely on total metres. For instance, Woods ran further than Sue but, in my opinion, his runs were vastly inferior. Jessie was the Tiger's best forward because he bent the line with his speed and aggression. In contrast, Woods jogged up and played the ball slowly. Regarding Alouai, his metres were well down but he did make one or two excellent offloads early on. Was he off the field for a long time?

I was saying to my mate the whole game (missed first mins voting) where is Brooks? He was like the oranges guy at half time that stayed on. Moses was everywhere including one shocker missed tackle but he gave his best.

ET definitely should be playing in the middle. He is great and shouldn't be moved.

Sirro has a bigger motor and was making more than 30 tackles per game. I am a big fan of Aloiai, I think he will really kick on next year. If Sirro can get his workrate in attack up though, he could get himself back into the picture. Needs to take a leaf out of Rowdy's book and do those hard hitups and work on his line running. Lawrence is averaging over 100 metres in attack. Our only other backrower who gets close is Lovett, and he's only playing between 50-60 minutes.
